Previous to that game, a home match hosting Queens Park Rangers in a game that was won 2-0.This is expected to be a close game, with Coventry City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Coventry City as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Coventry City has won 5 of these, drawn 1 and lost 5.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Coventry City as they have a new game in only four days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. West Bromwich Albion are visiting.
